marking cards to cut

Just trying out a few cards I got at Tarkir Dragonstorm prerelease.

Descendant of Storms: A 2/1 for 1 that can act as a mana sink, either growing your board or itself, I think this would fit well in this cube. Dryad Militant will go in the pile of cards for a possible graveyard focused cube I'm working on.

Sunpearl Kirin: I like the flexibility here, and the art's nice. I quite like whitemane lion style effects. There's enough non-humans that I wasn't super happy with the lieutenant, but it could certainly come back in the future.

Static Snare: Love the flexibility that flash gives this. On the attack, white goes wide enough that this will often be a single mana, and on defense it's often going to be not much worse than the Not on My Watch that it's replacing. I don't care for the swinginess that can come from banishing light effects, but I want to give this a shot. I'm not super confident on NoMW returning in the future, but maybe it could happen.

Sinkhole Surveyor: I like endure as a mechanic and want to try this guy out. Originally I was going to cut rotting regisaur for this (Reggie doesn't fit this environment, he'll get kicked upstairs to the Make Waves cube at some point) but I realized Dreadhorde Invasion is a closer comparison, and I want to move that over to the Trinket Cube anyway to get another enchantment that makes tokens over there anyway, so that's the swap.

Magmatic Hellkite: Pyre Hound was always in here as a placeholder until I found something I wanted to test here, and I have found that this in Hellkite. Oftentimes this is probably just blowing up a dual land to make the opponent's mana a little worse, but it might hit a creature land occasionally, so that's cool. We'll see how it does.

Cori-Steel Cutter: I enjoy the minigame that flurry cards give you by encouraging double spelling. Cutting Etali's Favor because I don't enjoy the randomness of discover in this environment, it'll get kicked upstairs to the Make Waves cube. Looking forward to this one in some sort of tempo deck.
